Tutor Profile for Mason Jones
Welcome to a world where coding meets creativity and fun! I'm Mason Jones, your friendly neighborhood coding enthusiast specializing in teaching kids the art of game design and programming through Scratch and Roblox. Based in the charming city of Mequon, WI, I’ve dedicated the past three years to transforming the way children learn and interact with technology. My mission is to make the coding experience as enjoyable and impactful as possible, ensuring every child unlocks their true potential in the digital world.
Background:
My journey into the realm of coding education began after I noticed a gap in how traditional schools approached teaching technology. I saw an opportunity to introduce coding in a way that captivates young minds. With a background in computer science and a passion for game development, I've been able to curate an engaging curriculum that combines fundamental coding concepts with the thrill of creating one's own games.
Areas of Expertise:
I specialize in two major platforms that have proven to be kid-friendly and immensely productive in the field of coding education:
Scratch: An ideal starting point for beginners, Scratch's visual programming language allows students to drag-and-drop code blocks to animate characters, design interactive stories, and build simple games. It's an excellent way for kids to learn the logic of coding without the intimidation of complex syntax.
Roblox: For those ready to level up, Roblox offers a more advanced, yet equally thrilling opportunity. With Roblox Studio, my students learn to script in Lua, enabling them to create sophisticated games and experiences that they can share with a global community.
Q: At what age can kids start learning with you?
A: I believe in the 'the sooner, the better' philosophy. Kids as young as 7 years old can start discovering the wonders of coding with Scratch, and then progress to Roblox as their understanding deepens.
Q: How do you tailor your lessons for different skill levels?
A: I meticulously assess each student’s capabilities and interests to create personalized lesson plans. This individualized approach ensures that each learner receives the right balance of challenge and support.
Q: Are online classes available?
A: Absolutely! I provide both in-person sessions in Mequon and virtual classes for students not in the immediate area. The online format is conducted through a live, interactive platform that's just as effective and engaging.
